guess who got a new purse!?!

... THIS GIRL!

so long grungy old bag. we've made many sweet memories together over the last 5 years: 3 music festivals, 1 trip to morocco, 5 camping trips and countless repairs. at the request of my husband, poor bag has already been laid to rest:

 

yes, 5 years! i'm not a purse buyer (obviously). i remember moving a friend of wade's a few years ago and she had garbage bags (plural) of purses. i have had 1 ... well + a dressy clutch. so buying a new purse is a BIG STINKIN' DEAL. a big deal that took one threatening husband. "buy it by noon or else i will". 

and so i did. against our budget, i bought this abbey road hobo bag from lucky brand. i've had my eye on it for a looooong time. (like since july of last year.):

yahoo!

this week is the ultimate cray cray. i'm hosting a bridal shower saturday with my sister for our future sister-in-law angela. soooo much to get done. i am of course the biggest procrastinator in the world. can't wait to share all of the fun ideas + pictures ... next week! bear w/ me! xo.

color = much more fun

i really need a new pair of brown ballet flats. i should totally insert a picture of my current pair. yowch!

... but let's face it, folks:

and what's even more fun? shoes that are for a good cause.
